Reviews


100
The Telegraph - Robbie Collin
The only way to understand it is to swim in it for yourself, feel your own heart braid around these two interwoven lives, and gaze up in awe at the silvery arc those falling stars trace across the sky.

Empire - Dan Jolin
Part body-swap comedy, part long-distance romance, part... something else. If you only see one Japanese animated feature this year, see this one, and see it more than once.
100
Total Film - Kevin Harley
Prepare to be spirited away. A brain-scrambler to make hearts swell, Shinkai’s giddy romance brims with emotion and invention.
80
Screen International - Wendy Ide
This is a film which handles its high concept with confidence, and a winning balance of comedy and emotional punch.

Variety - Peter Debruge
This vividly realized and emotionally satisfying feature ought to make Shinkai a household name — certainly in Japan, and with any luck, in other countries as well.
